Round Trip
Description
A New York Times
Best Illustrated Book of the Year
The classic Round Trip takes young readers on an imaginative, inventive
journey, from the country to the city and back again. It’s not just the story
of a round trip—it is a round trip!
Read the story forward, then flip the book over to see something different on
the way back.
Kirkus called the
black-and-white art, by best-selling picture-book creator Ann Jonas,
“Show-stopping sleight of pen.” In a starred review, Booklist praised Round Trip
as “An inventive book for young readers that will delight anyone whose
imagination is intact.”
Publishers Weekly
said, “A visual stunner . . . sure to delight and fascinate.” Parents who loved
this book as children will want to share it with their own little ones today.
